RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 5, 2007 -- Justin Humphreys made the most of good
conditions Friday night at Virginia Motorsport Park in Dinwiddie,
stopping the clock in 6.681 seconds at 206.45 mph, putting him seventh
going into Saturday's final qualifying for Sunday's Torco Racing Fuels
Nationals.

"We were happy with it," he said. "The car went from A to B on a track
that was marginal (following an afternoon rain that wiped out one
qualifying run) and NHRA's Safety Safari did a good job of getting it
back together.

"Bob (Glidden, team consultant) said he was going to get after the
tune-up and he did. We are definitely excited about the way the car
ran."

He has two more runs Saturday before the 16-car field is set for Sunday's
eliminations.
